Sorry, I don't have the time.

It's reproducible, and the recipe is simple to execute.
The code that sets up the frame parameters is straightforward.

A guess (just a guess) is that it's a problem with fonts. Another guess is that
it is related to bug #639: tabbar.el tab text being garbled. Both regressed in
the same way since 2008-07-26.
